‘Summertime and the living is easy. . .’ so the song goes.
Summer is often busy, but we know of a few ways that can
make supporting the WNCC Foundation feel like a summer
breeze! When you support the Foundation, you are creating
opportunities for WNCC students and programs.

EVENT SCHEDULE
Did you know that you can set up an automatic withdrawal
from your checking account that lets you support WNCC
students all year long? It can be set up on a monthly basis or as
often as you like.
Another tax-savvy way to give is by contributing from a
retirement account – sometimes called an IRA rollover. A
qualifi ed charitable deduction (QCD) or IRA rollover can
be a much more benefi cial means of making charitable gifts
for those taxpayers who are at least age 70 and own an IRA.
Why? A QCD allows a taxpayer to use a standard deduction
and receive a tax break for donating IRA funds to a public
charity. Donating a large IRA, for example, would save you
from making required minimum distributions (RMDs), and
reducing those RMDs via QCDs can have a signifi cant impact
on reducing your tax liability.
This tax year may be full of changes, but we are happy to help
you make it easy. Call the Foundation offi ce at 308.630.6550,
for more information on these great ways to give!
